Quickmap Not Saving Last Viewed Location On Exit

If Quickmap is not saving the location that was last viewed, it may be that you need to turn on the setting to save the last viewed location.

To do this, make sure there is a tick next to View -> Prompt to Save View Extent on Exit. Upon Closing Quickmap, you will now be prompted to save the last viewed location, or not. If you put a tick in the box to not ask me this again, it will save the answer you give (Yes or No) and use this every time you close Quickmap.

To change your answer, to stop it saving the last viewed location on exit, re-select View -> Prompt to Save View Extent on Exit, then close Quickmap, select Don’t ask me this again and click No.
